Issue/Question
- How do I change my CN or Cosine account password?
- How do I change my Active Directory (non-ONID) account password?
Environment
- Oregon State University
- Non-ONID account
Explanation
These instructions are for customers who have one of the following account types:
- Student employees with an "se-username" account.
- External customers who have been granted a "CN account" or other AD account that is not an ONID account (e.g. you login as CN\username).
- External customers who have been granted a "delegated account" in the ONID domain (but not sponsored accounts).
- Other AD accounts that are not ONID accounts.
If you don't know your current password, you will need to contact your IT team for help first.
Note: If you have an ONID account (for students, employees, associates, or sponsored) please follow the ONID password reset steps instead.
